Dear Nick, thank you for the information on the independence (of the outcomes of the dependent variable, I suppose). Of course, you are right, it's not really a "normal distribution", but roughly symmetric about its mean. I just wanted to point out that there is not an unusual high fraction of zeros which would lead to considering zero-inflated negative binomial model or similar ones.
